Mississippi State fans were certainly looking forward to defeating their old coach when Florida came to Starkville on Saturday. But Dan Mullen’s Gators sent the Bulldogs faithful home unhappy and inspired one tweet — y’all might have heard the Good Ol’ J.R. clip before but by God it never gets old:

Sad is in the eye of the beholder:
Mississippi State fans look so sad. This is beautiful

Meanwhile, Tennessee fans have gotten so masterful at sadness in recent times that they have inspired a chart full of emotions. None of them good.
Vols fans offered up a few more entries in this painful book with Saturday’s crusher against Georgia. Here is a good start:

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer even joined in from the sidelines — I still maintain that the hands need to be behind the head, not on top, for a full Surrender Cobra. I’m going with “Modified Surrender Cobra” for this:

Finally, we leave you with a clip that might just trigger tears of happiness rather than the other kind:
